Cabin crew seats for landing alert

[Paper Lad]

I hope that this is the correct forum.

Can anyone tell me what is used for the 'cabin crew seats for landing' alert on an Easy Airbus. Is it the cycling of the No Smoking/Seatbelt signs or something else?

easyJet do not have a seats for landing call, cabin crew take their seats as soon as the cabin has been secured.

Up until recently, the subfleet (ex-GB) retained this call but it's been removed.

[student88]

The crew get a -10 min "prepare cabin for landing" call by the crew usually when the seat belt sign is switched on. Once they're in their seats and secure the senior crew member will call the flight deck and tell them the cabin is secure. If the flight crew haven't received this call at their decision height they'll go around.

S88:ok:

It could have also been an emergency situation, but if you have heard that annoucement then I assume you would have known about an emergency... that call is given at 1000ft (if my memory serves me correct - dont tell the trainers) in our Emergency Drill!

Other than what the others have said, couldnt imagine why else you would here that!

[Getoutofmygalley]

2000 feet which is 2 minutes in an emergency.

Don't worry, I haven't told the trainers :}

[londoneasyjetboi]

it was 1000ft at one stage though wasnt it?

[Getoutofmygalley]

Indeed, that was when the "Brace Brace" call would be at 250ft or approx 15 seconds to landing.

Was changed around about the time that CODPIES became CHIPPED if I remember correctly :)

I think it would be wise to remember that the media and others use this forum for their own purposes....

Do not openly discuss any sensitive company procedures in this forum.

None of us really know who is asking and reading the posts!

[EGPFlyer]

2000ft call is just over 3 minutes to landing
500ft Brace call is about 50 seconds
:ok:

[student88]

It doesnt take a genius who's flown easyJet more than 5 times to notice what the procedures are! If terrorists really wanted to know they'd do their research in lots of other ways too! I know what you're talking about but it's not asif the topic of discussion is the flight deck door code!

S88:ok:

[Getoutofmygalley]

Good point student88.

Perhaps tomorrows SUN will have a story about a certain low cost airline endangering the safety of hospitals, schools, nunneries by flagrantly going around if the CC haven't handed in the cabin secure by x number of feet.

It's not sensitive company procedures being discussed here and all pax seated in the first 2 or 3 rows on an A319 can usually hear the SCCM hand in the secure (Many a time I have heard them comment 'Oh good we will be landing in a minute then' before).

[lowerlobe]

It really is no wonder that some people think Cabin Crew are air heads....

My point was about journalists and others who have an agenda!!!!

Just ask yourself..why would someone want to know Can anyone tell me what is used for the 'cabin crew seats for landing' alert on an Easy Airbus

Guys think before you answer a post!

[Tight Slot]

Me thinks the Easy Airbus fleet has the auto "Bing" to the cabin when the landing gear is ordered down?? Thats our cue ( A330 ) diff airline, for the cabin crew to be on their seats....

[jetsetjobbie]

Tight Slot, (I assume you are not the Moderator Tightslot), did you read the posting immediately before yours?

Lowerlobe, the point I assume you are making (maybe a little too subtly) is that, should I be a terrorist or have a similar agenda, a good time to attempt a storming of tight slot's (not the moderator) flight deck, is when I hear the double ding!!

Obviously, at that point I would experience the full strength of a kevlar (bullet proof) flight deck door and just how angry a plane full of scared people can get, coupled with a 45 degree climb and a painful whallop into the aft galley.

Again, be careful what you post. I now understand why there is now no 'seats for landing' indication at my airline. Maybe this would be a good idea nationally.

PS, maybe 'paper lad' is an investigative reporter, for a paper.

Cor Blimey, who'd have thought that such an innocuous question would have thrown up all this:eek:. There's a whole heap of paranoia on here.

No, I'm not a journo or anyone else with malicious intent, just someone who works at the pointy end but, not on an airbus or for easyJ.

As it happens, the subject came up in conversation at home, following a flight with easy and I didn't know where else to find the answer. But ,I guess the more delusional on here won't believe a word of my post.

Thank you to those who offered a straight forward answer:ok:

That may well be so but how do we know Paper Lad isn't in alien?

[Turroncin]

"cabin crew take your seats for landing" is what we say and hmmm it is quite appropriate.... doesn't sound too daft, I mean "you old scrubbers, squat on the toilets for a laugh" would of course, and be rather pointless. Although at the end of a flight, I don't think I'd like to sit on the toilet seat itself. In fact I don't think I'd ever consider sitting on a toilet seat on a plane.

All in all, I still think "take your seats for landing" is a fairly reasonable PA.

I believe Air Koryo has no crew jumpseats and hang on to a bar on takeoff/landing...wonder what their announcement is? :confused:

[BestonBoard]

I've often used 'Cabin Crew, seats for landing' when I'm still awaiting the final cabin secure checks... Just a little 'nudge' that I'm waiting...

[13 please]

You don't think maybe you could go and take part in securing the cabin also..? check to see if there are any issues which are holding things up maybe..?

[lalbak]

At the airline i work for its similar. Cabin crew get a "20 minutes", "10 minutes" and a "cabin crew, seats for landing" call from the flight deck via PA. Seats for landing are given upon commencement of the final approach after which we get a cabin secure call from them.
